With all these new products out there, I still revert back to the hot water bottle for cramps and aches. Mine has a little fussy sweater on it, so i can put it right to my skin without feeling the rubber material. Rather than loading myself up with pills, I like to sooth right at the source- so I put on my stomach or lower back when in bed. love this-it was one of the best gifts ever given to me!

I get so much use out of mine,not just when I'm sick but in winter when I'm cold ,love curling up with my hot water bottle

Every home should have one of these. Yes, they may be old fashioned but they're wonderful. Great for that extra cold night at bed time,the teenage girl's period discomfort, etc. I have always had and always will have one of these around.
